Checklists for the decisions

Each guide is organized around one question a merchant has to answer, states plainly what public evidence can and cannot show, and hands off to the matching TechBits diagnostic when a scan is the fastest next step.

Or let the storefront answer for itself.
Every TechBits diagnostic is bounded and read-only. No Shopify login, no app install, and every finding ships with the evidence behind it.
- Open
Store Check
Homepage, robots.txt and sitemap read once. Versioned score and prioritized findings.
- Open
App Audit
Scripts, hosts and recognizable vendors observed in the public storefront HTML.
- Open
Migration Check
Source platform and migration-relevant public signals before discovery starts.
- Open
Store Monitor
Recorded observations of availability, indexability and meaningful HTML change.
Before you act on any finding
